Description
Silvia Pérez-Piñero and co-authors put a persimmon extract through a proper placebo trial for weight management, in a 2024 study. Seventy-one overweight but healthy adults took either four hundred milligrams of the standardised fruit extract or a placebo daily for one hundred and twenty days, with neither side knowing which. Body composition was measured by X-ray absorptiometry and electrical impedance.
Among the strictly overweight subgroup, the extract group lost significantly more fat, in both kilograms and percentage, than the placebo group. Lean mass held steady, so the loss was fat rather than muscle or water. Between-group differences were strong statistically. The authors present the extract as a candidate aid for weight management, while the trial's modest size invites larger confirmation before any shelf claims.
